Ivywood - Rough Cut
This is the rough cut for my trailer 'Ivywood', the rough includes the RAW FOOTAGE of my trailer without any title cards or transitions. However, my soundtrack had already been selected so this is shown in my rough cut.
Final Piece - Preperation
As a group, we created storyboards to outline what SHOT TYPES we wanted to use throughout the scenes and in which order.
This was the storyboard for our CROSS-DRESSING SCENE, involving Mickey (Matt B) and Rosé (Laura).
This is the storyboard for the scene involving Chandelier (Kate) FINDING OUT SHE'S PREGNANT and then telling her boyfriend Rhino (Matt E). This storyboard also contains the shot types for RHINO'S DISTRAUGHT SCENE.
This was the storyboard for a scene that we LATER DECIDED TO CUT from our trailer. The scene supposed to involve Angel (Kerrianne) and Kim (Katie), we didn't shoot this scene as we felt that it didn't fit with the rest of our storylines.
We created a shooting schedule to ensure that we didn't miss any scenes out whilst filming, it included WHERE the shots were being filmed and WHO was taking part in each scene. This helped us gain a sense ORGANISATION therefore we could PRIORITISE each scene.
Kate wrote a DETAILED BRIEFING for each of the scenes, again this shows the planning for the drug scene which was later cut.
